Today we're creating Another Take on No Sponge Sponging.
If you missed Tuesday's card check it out here http://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2018/09/no-sponge-sponging.html
Today's card is using the same inks but a slightly different design and stamp set: Here's a closer look for the sparkle:
This is an awesome technique for silhouette stamping--it gives you vibrant colors for a black or very dark silhouette.
Below are the directions--simple & quick with a couple of fun hints to save you time & money. Following that are the supplies you'll need & how to order them.
Remember:
*This is the last week to use your August Bonus Days coupons---after Sunday they will expire
*If you place an order online & use this month's host code(4UGP9PMX) you'll receive $5 in Stampin'Up! product for each $50 in product that you order.
Directions:
1. Cut Thick Very Vanilla cardstock 4 1/4 X 11 score long side at 5 1/2 (card base).
2. Cut Very Vanilla cardstock 3 5/8 X 4 . Stamp the "cloud" (Beautiful Blizzard) near the top in Melody Mango (lightest color). Note: since we're working from light to dark ink pads & in the same color family you don't need to clean the stamp between colors --you do if you are going to repeat the card--clean after stamping the darkest color. Now ink up with Calypso Coral & stamp about 1/2" down over the first stamped image. Re-ink with Pumpkin Pie & move down another 1/2" from the previous stamp.
3. Do a Wink of Stella Wash. Using your Heat Tool, dry the ink/Wink well.
4. Stamp the tree sihlouette (Sheltering Tree, Stampin'Up!) in Early Espresso & immediately sprinkle with Clear Embossing Powder; heat until shiny with Heat Tool.
5. Stamp verse (Beautiful Day Stampin'Up!) in Versamark; sprinkle with Gold EP, heat with tool until shiny gold; adhere 3 gold metallic pearls.
6. Cut Gold Glimmer 3 3/4 X 4 1/8 (note: cut out the center for use in another project leaving a "frame"); adhere the frame to the back side of the stamped image with glue dots; adhere this unit to card front with liquid glue.
